Question Wheel bearing issue??

Hey guys, sry its been so long since I have been on but 19 credits is kicking my butt right now lol.... Anywho, after this spring of replacing all suspension parts and lowering carmen, I was still getting a "clunking" noise from the back right corner, and I still dont know what it could be because I thought for sure it was the top mount rubber, but I guess not. So the other day my dad took his truck in for a similar noise and ended up being a bad wheel bearing.... I think I may have the same problem in the back right corner.... What you guys think?

Don't wheel bearings usually sound like a loud tire or something?

Yes a loud humming noise, But if the bearings are bad enough there could be some clunking.

If your wheel bearings are bad enough to clunk, you should be able to get some play out of the wheel with your hands. Jack it up and see if you can wiggle the wheel or not.

Kyb's Gr-2s with the ssc lowering spring but the noise was happening before I put those on, which is why I switched everything out.

Check everything in your suspension that has bushings
